Automatic File Organizer for Windows 11 & 10. Tame your file chaos on autopilot.
FolderTamer watches the folders you choose and automatically sorts matching files into the right places. Organize Downloads, move invoices, and tidy your Desktop in the background—without dragging files around or writing scripts.
Windows 10 (1809+) and Windows 11 · 64-bit · Free plan never expires
The difference
From a messy folder to files you can find
Set up a rule once. FolderTamer handles matching files as they arrive, so your Downloads folder does not need another manual cleanup session.
Before: everything in Downloads
Unsorted- 📄 invoice-march.pdf
- 🖼️ screenshot-01.png
- 📦 documents.zip
- 📄 invoice-april.pdf
After: organized by your rules
Organized- 📁 Documents / Invoices / invoice-march.pdf
- 📁 Pictures / Screenshots / screenshot-01.png
- 📁 Archives / documents.zip
- 📁 Documents / Invoices / invoice-april.pdf
Illustrative example. You choose which folders to watch and where matching files go.
How FolderTamer works
Set it up once. Stay organized automatically.
You do not need to learn PowerShell or move every file yourself.
-
1
Choose a folder to watch
Pick Downloads, Desktop, Documents, or another folder. FolderTamer monitors it for new or changed files.
-
2
Choose what happens
Turn on a ready-made recipe or create a rule, such as “move PDFs with ‘invoice’ in the name to Documents.”
-
3
Let it work in the background
When a file matches your rule, FolderTamer runs the selected action. Review supported changes in History & Undo.
Built for everyday file management
Less sorting. More time for everything else.
Use FolderTamer as a simple Downloads organizer or build detailed file automation rules when you need more control.
Start with 1-click recipes
Turn on a ready-made cleanup workflow instead of building every automation from scratch.
Create your own sorting rules
Choose files by name, extension, size, or age, then decide whether to move, copy, rename, or archive them.
Run quietly in the background
FolderTamer watches your selected folders so new files can be handled without another manual cleanup.
Review history and undo moves
See what your rules did and reverse supported move or rename operations. Permanent deletion cannot be undone.
Local-first file processing
Your files are organized on your PC. Some optional online services, such as license verification or recipe updates, may use the internet.
What can you automate with FolderTamer?
A few ways to make daily file management easier on Windows.
Invoices & documents
Move matching invoices out of Downloads and into a dedicated Documents folder.

Old downloads

Frequently asked questions
Is FolderTamer free?
Yes. The Free plan never expires and includes up to two watched folders, three active automations, and starter recipes. Pro adds unlimited folders and more advanced rules.

Choose a folder to watch, turn on a recipe or create a rule, and select an action. When a matching file appears, FolderTamer applies your rule in the background.
Which versions of Windows are supported?
